Vignette 8+sp1 The external URL gotta problem on Associated Link LDF Widget

Richard_Cao

Hi Mario,

If a CTD using Aoociated Link LDF widget, it is not able to accept any  external URL that contains "&", because it is persisted as a XML document into database.

i.e. if the external URL is : www.google.com/aa?para=1&parb=2, when click button "Paste Link", nothing is saved and without any error message.

I tried to make a change on class com.vignette..widgets.inline.xmltags.XmlLinkBuilder.java
to encode an external URL into "UTF-8" format, it works with the Vignette
AppConsole(http://ahost/AppConsole), while it doesn't work with Vignette-8.01 content console(http://ahost/content).

Any suggestion  is much appreciated.

My current dev environment is: VCM8.01+VCM8.01 DPM for WebSpher + WebSphere Portal 6.1.0.21

 

Best Regards,

Hi,

If you are pasting external URL, you are actually better off using the standard link button in the editor as opposed to vcm link button. It is out of box in Ephox editor. The reason, there is an "external" link option in LDD is that in many implementations, out-of-box create link button is replaced with vcm internal link button. However, if you keep both buttons, then it is better to use the standard insert link button.

This is not to say that this problem should not be fixed
